Abilis Sibshops Workshop for Teens, Ages 10-14

Abilis’ popular Sibshops’ workshops are back for 2021 and are offering a chance for Fairfield County teens, ages 10-to-14, who have siblings with a disability or special need, to meet virtually for a fun and informative workshop. Workshops are scheduled for February 24, March 24, April 21, and May 19, from 5:00 until 6:30 p.m. and are held via Zoom. Workshops are $40 and registration must be made in advance. To register, visit abilis.us/calendar or contact workshop co-facilitator Maddy Schulte at [email protected].

Sibshops are high-spirited, fun workshops that combine recreation, discussion and information for siblings of those with a disability. Sibshops provides a safe space for siblings to share their thoughts and feelings while also meeting others in similar circumstances and provides a place to enjoy themselves through different recreation activities and through playing games while also learning about the services their brother(s) or sister(s) receive.

The Abilis Sibshops program is limited to a group size of 10-to-12. Registration is limited and spaces will fill up fast, so it is recommended to register online at abilis.us/calendar (click on the corresponding date to go to the Sibshops registration page).
